Residence 8C at 153 East 57th Street presents a rare opportunity to own a meticulously renovated alcove studio at The Gotham Town House, ideally positioned in the heart of Sutton Place. Thoughtfully rebuilt from the studs with an emphasis on both form and function, this sophisticated residence pairs refined finishes with exceptionally intelligent design. Warm Brazilian cherrywood floors anchor the home, while the reimagined layout creates a seamless sense of openness and efficiency. Originally lacking meaningful storage, the apartment was completely transformed to incorporate a custom built dressing closet in addition to two oversized closets, offering an uncommon level of organization for studio living. The kitchen has been elegantly redesigned to maximize both utility and visual appeal. Outfitted with a curated suite of premium appliances including a Bertazzoni gas range, Bosch dishwasher, Fisher & Paykel refrigerator, and Haier microwave, the space is complemented by custom cabinetry and thoughtful shelving throughout. A glazed kitchen door introduces an architectural element while allowing natural light to flow effortlessly across the home. The bathroom has been fully renovated with a clean, modern sensibility, featuring a sleek glass enclosed standing shower and elevated finishes throughout. Additional highlights include a custom Murphy bed with built in storage, full time doorman service, garage parking, on site laundry, and a live in superintendent. Maintenance includes all utilities except internet and phone. The building permits subletting, pied à terre ownership, guarantors, corporate ownership, and trust ownership, offering exceptional flexibility for a variety of ownership structures. Quiet and private, Residence 8C offers a calm retreat moments from some of Manhattan’s finest dining, shopping, and transportation. An impeccably designed home in one of New York City’s most established and convenient neighborhoods.
